I know that title is silly.  Trust me, I know.  The teapot I am featuring today is blue and that was the first thing that came to mind.  Oh….maybe I should have thought a little longer and come up with a better title?  Perhaps but this past week has left me feeling a little bit disoriented and crazed so bear with me, please.

Today’s teapot was yet another Marshall’s find.  I am telling you that it is my favorite place to shop and find amazing things including teapots.  I never pay more than $8 to $13 for them and they always have some really pretty and fun ones.  So today’s blue teapot is a little classy and a little sassy at the same time.  

“Feelings, whether of compassion or irritation, should be welcomed, recognized, and treated on an absolutely equal basis; because both are ourselves. The tangerine I am eating is me. The mustard greens I am planting are me. I plant with all my heart and mind. I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath. Nothing should be treated more carefully than anything else. In mindfulness, compassion, irritation, mustard green plant, and teapot are all sacred.”
